-Mark Erickson Baladad

Ang wika ang salamin ng ating mayaman na kasaysayan, expressed Carpe Diem
adviser Charlzton Cortez as this new club kick off the Buwan ng Wika celebration in
the college quadrangle last August 12.
Carpe Diem is a freshly recognized student organization which aims to enhance the
students skills and talents. It is composed of three internal groups which include
Literature and Language Guild, Society of Mathematicians, and Center for Creative
productions.
College of Arts and Sciences should be the head organizer of the event, said
pharmacy student Jeruel Duque, president of Carpe Diem. But, the club accepted
the challenge of conducting because they can do it.
Furthermore, according to Cortez that this is also an application of the members
knowledge acquired from their previous seminars and workshops.
This years Buwan ng Wika celebration was highlighted by a variety show performed
by the staff of the club. The show includes singing of Filipino-made songs such as
Harana and Buko by a live band, and folk dancing.
In addition, patriotism of Filipino heroes was portrayed through a role playing
starred by Cortez and other club advisers Ronny Valencia and Zeus Tumada.
The club advisers also lectured through seminar-workshop about performing arts.
They emphasized that it is important for the students to enhance their talents in a
young age.
Antiques were also exhibited. Different antique coins and an old camera to name
few.
Likewise, scribbling in the freedom wall and poster slogan making were gladly
participated by the Lormanians.
Even though the event is quite success, some students think that the program was
bit unorganized and scruffy.
Parang mas maganda pa yung celebration namin noong high school, commented
Kris Ann De los Reyes, a freshmen.
